What are the new design features in the 2018 Dodge Durango?

The first thing that's conveyed by the 2018 Dodge Durango is toughness. This car is beefy, aggressive, and just about militaristic in its firm, wide stance. The Durango is prepared to out-haul all others in the SUV class, and the same power is prepared to leave them in the dust in speed, too. Trims vary from the basicly built SXT and GT, to the luxury minded Citadel and R/T, to the new SRT that prides itself on showing off its above and beyond status. Six, huge crosshair grille options are topped with the SRT's extra hood vents for improved engine ventilation and cooling. On all models, the LED headlight accents and racetrack taillight are ready to light the way. Additional exterior upgrades offer specialized detailing. The Blacktop package gives gloss black edginess, the Brass Monkey shows off matte brass accents, and the Anodized Platinum package is decked out shining grandeur. Dual racing stripes can be added along the length of the R/T and SRT models. The same level of well-engineered ruggedness can be found on the interior. Meshed Carolina suede cloth or Nappa leather wrap the big seats, and a new sport steering wheel commands the ride. The second row can come as a width-crossing bench or as two pilot seats, both with fold down capabilities to reach the optional third row. The cabin gives a huge 84.5 cubic-feet of cargo space, giving ample comfort to your passengers. Newly standard is a 7- inch high-resolution touchscreen with Bluetooth, auxiliary music connectivity, navigation, and viewport for the also new rearview camera. Options for the interior include heated first- and second-row seats, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, and an entertainment system for the rear seats.

What are the powertrain options in the 2018 Dodge Durango?

The Dodge Durango smokes out the competition with its powertrain options. Even the standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine churns out 290 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, towing 6,200 pounds and racing through its eight-speed automatic transmission smoothly. The R/T trim offers a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 for a step up in performance. 360 horsepower handles 7,400 pound towing weights with ease. The SRT has been equipped with the best of the best. 475 horsepower and 470 pound-feet torque are pumped out of the 6.4-liter high-performance Hemi V8. A 8,600 pound towing capacity is the best you can get in the SUV class. All that power put into pure speed performance gives a 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds, blazing through a quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds. Improved towing performance and handling can be added with an optional 220-amp alternation, heavy-duty engine oil cooler, Class IV hitch receiver, and load-leveling rear shocks.

How are the 2018 Dodge Durango safety and security features?

More than 60 standard and available safety and security features round out the technology upgrade the 2018 Dodge Durango received for the model year. Active and passive features keep you and your passengers safe along the long hauls and lengthy rides. Seven airbags come standard, along with Electronic Stability Control, Electronic Roll Mitigation, Traction Control, Hill Assist, Trailer Sway Damping, Ready Alert Braking, and more. The now standard backup camera provides easier maneuverability and improved rearview vision. This can be paired with further optional driver assist features, such as Rear Cross-Path Detection, Forward Collision Warning, Crash Mitigation, Cruise Control with Stop, Blind-Spot Monitoring, and ParkSense Park Assist for a near 360-degree range of autonomous awareness. Reliable and responsive stops are achieved with four-wheel disc antilock brakes.

Final Thoughts on the 2018 Dodge Durango

The 2018 Dodge Durango was made to outclass and out perform, leaving others in the SUV class struggling behind no matter the load weight being brought along for the ride. Distinct style, a broad and aggressive build, and smooth performance will stand out when you get to experience the Durango. Ultimate flexibility in both power, performance, and interior space and seating options make this a family friendly pick or ultimate hobby hauler.
